Assigning function to proteins in the minimal genome. The flowchart outlines how functions were assigned to the proteins using MMSYN1_0879 as an example. The top row of methods are used to identify a likely function. The methods in the three groups of boxes (predicted GO terms, ligand binding predictions and membrane protein predictions) are then used to see if they support the function identified by the first group. Where the first group does not predict a function then this second group was used. The figure shows the results obtained for MMSYN1_0879, which was annotated as the gene mgtA, a magnesium importing P-type ATPase
